On China Hunter Biden Scandals, Spox John Kirby says he doesn’t have anything to say. On 10/26/2022, a reporter asked National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby, “So I’ve got a question about Saudi Arabia and a question about China … And on China, this is a very simple question but it’s an enduring point of uncertainty: Does the President’s son still co-own a company with China’s government? And if not, can you provide some basic transparency about who bought that stake and how much money?”
MR. KIRBY: I don’t have any for you on your second question. But let me — let me address your first.
On 10/26/2022, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre started the conference with “Hello Heads up, Heads up, Starting with you or without you.” When Jean-Pierre has to speak longer during the press conference she has had more embarrassing stumbles. In the past Cameroonian journalist Simon Ateba once asked Kirby a question, “Sometimes you act like the second press secretary, tell us exactly what your job is, what type of questions should we ask you?” Kirby denied being ‘2nd press secretary.’
On 10/26/2022, Jean-Pierre still shared the podium with Kirby, “I will turn to turn it — turn it over to my NSC colleague, John Kirby, who’s here to take some few questions.” After Kirby spent 50 minutes answering questions, Jean-Pierre said, “Okay. We have about 15 minutes. So, Zeke, do you want to kick us off?” But actually Jean-Pierre spent 2 minutes on some important news, “Good afternoon, everybody. I do want to take a couple of minutes to make some announcements that all of you already know, but it’s been a few weeks now and I want to make sure I acknowledge some new additions and well- — well-earned promotions on our press team. You know how we — how much we love to lift our — our team up here.”
Let’s see the transcripts dedicated to her team for the 2 minutes, “So, Andrew Bates will be taking on additional responsibilities, adding the role of Senior Communications Advisor for Strategic Response to his portfolio. Andrew has been a tireless and talented spokesperson on our team. And in his expanded role, he will have an increased focus on rapid response.
Emilie Simons has been promoted, as you all know, to Deputy Press Secretary. Emily has been a star leading our econ war room work and has grow- — has grown into a strong leader and mentor on the press team. We are so proud to have — to have her stepping into the role of Deputy Press Secretary and taking on even more. As you all know, some of you have been dealing with her closely on some parts of her new role.
In the upcoming days, we’ll also be welcoming our former Press Assistant, Michael Kikukawa, who many — many of you know. He’ll be coming back to the press team as Assistant Press Secretary. Kiku, as many of us know him as very fondly, will be returning to our team from Treasury and taking on Emily’s econ portfolio.
And lastly, Robyn Patterson, who some of you have already been working with, has come over to our team on loan from the Department of Commerce and will serve as Assistant Press Secretary through the spring. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our team, and we are grateful to have her on board. Congratulat- — congratulations to our team on these well-deserved, well-earned promotions.”
